How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Shottenden
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Common call-outs are for faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, across whole bathroom suites, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured basins.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shottenden. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured shower trays
- Coloured basins

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common questions in Shottenden
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover Shottenden?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Shottenden and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about the toilet?
Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole suite and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you turn my avocado bath white?
Yes. It’s resurfaced in white where it stands.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a coloured suite involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
